Ted Chiang from 2024, on writing with generative tools:
We are entering an era where someone might use a large language model to generate a document out of a bulleted list, and send it to a person who will use a large language model to condense that document into a bulleted list. Can anyone seriously argue that this is an improvement?
We are now in this era. Being given noisy documents is quite difficult, because using language models to condense or analyze them is not always reliable, and reviewing manually is arduous. Although, maybe only difficult for people who care enough not to pass the problem onward like a hot potato.
